History and development
Design and narrative
The exhibition is organized as a transit hub operated by the in-universe Quantum Department of Transportation (QDOT), through which visitors access four interconnected environments: C Street, Eemia, Numina, and the Ossuary.[2] Reporting described a large-scale, multi-floor installation with numerous interactive rooms and story elements,[4] developed with contributions from hundreds of artists, including more than 100 based in Colorado.[2] By purchasing an RFID card known as a QPASS, guests can participate in an interactive story tasking them with solving a missing persons case related to four women connected to the convergence event that connected the worlds together.
